## From The Chief

**Assistant Chief Josh Kunde**

“Our district is a cooperative between two cities to provide fire and emergency services more effectively and cost-efficiently. We chose the PUC configuration for the safety and storage – with lower crosslays, more compartment space, and a 500-gallon water tank. The 100’ platform covers airport response, while the TAK-4 keeps us maneuverable.”
